Craftsmen   by Daniel C.




   The castle craftmen were masons, blacksmith, carpenters, etc. I will only tell you about masons and blacksmith. Well, when you want to be a master craftsmen, you become an apprentice. You clean up the place when the master tells you to clean up. You get paid for your neatness. Then as the years go by,  your master would say make a masterpiece.  You would then make it the next day, and you would give it to your master.  He would then tell you which master craftsman you will be. The first master craftsman I will talk about is blacksmith. Blacksmiths usually made weapons, horseshoes, chainmails(armor), and horse armor.  The next one I'll talk about is masons. Masons are people who dig bricks and carve bricks. Rough mason and free masons work with brick.  The master mason is the one who works with the lord and designs the castle.   Masons carve brick symbols when they make something to identify who they are. These are just a few facts I know about craftsmen.
